FIRST ALERT SUMMARY

Tonight clouds will thicken over the Midlands acting as a blanket as lows will not be as cold in the lower 40s.

Clouds will linger for the majority Sunday as another arctic high moves down from Canada pulling in cooler temperatures with highs only in the lower 50s.

Skies will eventually clear Sunday night allowing temperatures to plummet into the mid to upper 20s by Monday morning leading to another hard freeze with heavy frost likely.

Monday afternoon will be on cool side with highs in the middle 50s under mostly sunny skies as high pressure moves right over the Carolinas.

Clouds return on Tuesday as a surface Low develops off the coast and combines with an advancing shortwave to spark off some scattered showers during the afternoon and evening.

Wednesday will be warmer with highs in the low to mid 60s under partly sunny skies.

Thanksgiving now looks dry but we will have a good deal of clouds with highs in the low to mid 60s.

A cold front will then swing into the region on Black Friday giving us our best chance for scattered showers.
